History[]

ECUT, originally established in 1956 in Shanxi Province. It started as Taigu Geological School. It belonged to State Second Mechanic Industry, a state defence institution.

It was jointly built by the People's Government of Jiangxi Province, the State Administration of National Defence Science, Technology and Industry, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the China Nuclear Industry Corporation.

In 1958, ECUT moved to Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province due to the abundant uranium deposits, and later to Nanchang.

Presently, ECUT is jointly run by the Jiangxi Government and China Atomic Energy Association (CAEA), the Ministry of Natural Resource (MNR), China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).^[2]

Curriculum[]

Taigu Geological School was founded in 1956 in the old residence of Kung Hsiang-hsi

From its inception, ECUT has focused on the fields of nuclear science and geoscience and expanded to engineering, science, language, economy, and arts. ECUT offers one doctoral programme, 71 master programmes, and 68 bachelor programmes. Most of these disciplines are connected to the traditional fields at ECUT, forming more than 20 schools and research centres.^[3]

Since its establishment, ECUT has focused its education and research in the field of Nuclear Science and Geology Science, with the relevant disciplines, developed gradually. Based on the featured disciplines ECUT has developed into the fields of Geological Tourism, Geological Economy, Geological Chemistry, and Geological Environment etc. So far, ECUT has extended its education and research to engineering, science, language, management, economy and arts, among which 1 doctoral programme, 71 master programmes and 72 bachelor programmes, forming more than 20 schools and research centres.^[4]
